77 Shadow Street

By: Dean Koontz

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

Enter the world of the Pendleton: The original owner became a recluse - and was rumored to be more than half mad - after his wife and two children were kidnapped in 1896 and never found. The second owner suffered a worse tragedy in 1935, when his house manager murdered him, his family, and the entire live-in staff....

Craftsmen and laborers working on renovations disappear or go mad....

For years, the Pendleton is a happy place, until a bad turn comes again....

Voices in unknown languages are heard in deserted rooms, everywhere and nowhere....

Disturbing shadows move along walls but have no source....

Images on security monitors show strange places that exist nowhere in the building or its grounds....

A young boy talks of an imaginary playmate - who turns out to be terrifyingly real....

A figure like a man but clearly inhuman is glimpsed in the courtyard gardens at night and in other locales, perhaps a hoaxer of some kind, seemingly oblivious of those who see it - until it suddenly takes an interest in one of them....

To many places at once

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This was good, but it jumped around so much that I would find my mind drifting off somewhere else and would have to rewind the ipod. Once you got to the end of the story then you actually understood what was happening, at first I thought it was an old ancient evil, and then to find out it was scientists and computers that got wacked in the end. But no matter, I'm a die hard Koontz fan.

77 shadow street

This was my first audio book .Although I enjoyed it I found it not to Dean Koontz usual Cant put this down book.Too many characters ,swapping from this to that here to there.

Wasted Credit

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A better story line without all the running around doing nothing but stupid things.

What was most disappointing about Dean Koontz’s story?

It was like a bad gumbo soup. A lot of stuff thrown in the pot with too many fillers and not enough meat and none of the right seasonings. I kept thinking maybe he took all the stories he wrote or tried to write a long time ago but never published and put them all in one book and came up with this garbage. I mean it started out okay, but then got redundant and boring. Save your credit or money and skip this or get it from the library.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Peter Berkrot?

Maybe

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 77 Shadow Street?

Most of them

Loved it!
